I'm the guy that bought the 'super big deluxe print' version of this today at Anime Revo, and she still looks fantastic - I'll email/keep you posted on when I get a frame for her, and send you a picture! Let me know if you recommend any specific modern looking black frame.. I'm thinking IKEA.

I already have been talking to you via email now, but I still wanted to say thank you again here! I am about to update my pages as well as the MilkInk page -- I am probably going to post the photo you sent me of the framed Champion!

Ah, that sounds great! Sorry I haven't been able to take a better quality image yet, I seem to have lost my digital camera soon after the con.. If I manage to snap a shot of it on the wall, I'll be sure to send it in to you - she's my favorite purchase from the entire con, I bought 6 other prints and such, and while they were very nice, nothing was as eye-catching and elegant as your "Champion" print. Look forward to hopefully seeing you next year!

PS: Out of immense curiosity, do you think you could ever do an art piece of Selvaria Bles from the Valkyria Chronicles series? I would happily pay for a similar print of her either in her battle-dress ( valkyria.wikia.com/wiki/Selvar… ) or her 'swimsuit' version. ( images.wikia.com/valkyria/imag… ) Hell, I could lend you my copy if you haven't played it to get a better idea. (Amazing game too) She has striking red eyes and a blue-ish glow that I think would work great with your style. ( I do need one more centerpiece~ )

Wow, your words are too kind! That really means a lot to me. I think we should cross paths again, next year!

I have not played Valkyria, but looking at Selvaria, I can tell she is exactly the kind of character I would want to do a piece for. Her outfit, colors, and attitude are all really appealing to me -- I guess you knew exactly the character I would be interested in based of Cynthia. At this point, due to other obligations, I can't take many/any commissions/requests -- but I can possibly make an exception for a character like this! Although I can sometimes be faster, my typical process is extremely stretched out (I started the Champion image about 2 years before I finished it). So, I will get this one of Selvaria started soon, so that it can become a part of my working pool of images. In other words, don't expect anything too soon, but if you were planning on seeing it at AR next year, then maybe I can make that happen! If things went well, and you wanted it, shipping could also be an option.

In a way, I want to thank you for showing me Selvaria -- there aren't a whole lot of characters I am drawn to illustrating myself, but you have helped me find a new one!

Oh, and as for titling it "Warrior" -- good call! If I handle the image right, I could see this image looking super nice paired with Champion... considering the shared black & gold of the two as well as their complimentary gold and silver hair...hmmmm, I am liking the idea of this more and more.
